One thing I've noticed with Silva is that his killer instinct is so strong it kinda leaks through his pores and gives you a primal buzz. I think that more than anything is responsible for his undying fan base, because even in the world of fighting and ko artists, that's actually pretty rare. It's basically Silva and Tyson.

If either one of those guys were to swarm on someone in the middle of a jungle or a pride of lions, the animals would back the fuck up.

bisping has to stop going straight back
you'd think he woulda learned against hendo

but yeah a few times i thought silva was gonna catch em hard well he was down with a knee/kick

Yeah. Ironically it's the same mistake Silva himself made against Vitor Belfort where you run into the cage with nowhere else to go taking punches. Silva was begging for a straight right but I think Bisping lacked the confidence to throw it.

Oh, and I'm actually surprised Bisping didn't catch Wand a few times getting to his feet with some knees. Silva's always been good at scrambling to his feet, but it's mostly because he takes risks defensively. Same with Chuck. (watch the shogun and rampage fights, Chuck was instinctively trying to scramble both times.)

I knew it was a possibility, but I didn't think I'd ever see such a sharp Wand again.

Boy was I mistaken.

Hopefully, he stays at that weight...

agreed.. bisping was sharp in that fight, looked on point, he coulda beat a lot of middleweights that night and silva was able to do his thing better then i expected, and i wanted him to win. cant wait to see him again at 185, wonder whos next
